They Don'f Say Much Now.
Says Democratic exchange
eve have not heard much of late
from the Republican press about
the great business depression which
would follow the advent of a DEM
ocratic administration. Their pre-.
dictions have not been verified, but
on the contrary the whole country
is marching on to steady, firm
and extraordinary degree of pros
perity; and in no part of the country
is this fact more exemplified than in
the States lately in rebellion. Com
mercial agencies and manufactu
rers statistice show that the amount
of capital placed in Southern en-
.terprises in 1886 was 1929 ,226, 600
as against s66,S13,9O9 in 1885
which was even gain over 1884,
the last year of Republican rule
At this rate of progress the whole
South will, in few years, be COW
er'd with manufacturing institu
tions and humming with the
wheels of all kinds of industry,
and that, too, under the broad poll
ey and generous impulses of the
cleanest and best administration
of public affairs which the people
of this country have witnessed
since the days of Thomas Jeffer-
SON."

ed of the result of the vote in the
separate bodies, but, we believe we
are safe in saying, that when the
final result of the joint assembly is
announced, that the name of our
next Senator, will be the Hon
johnson N. Camden, the present
worthy incumbent, for we can't be-
lieve for moment that any Demo
crat who has any regard for his po-
litical future, will vote against the
choice of the majority of the Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature.
The passage by a Democratic
House, without objection, and
with no provision for Confederate
soldiers" of bill appropriating
over s76.OOO,OOO for the current
year for the payment of pen
sions-or nearly as much as the
entire expenses of the Govern
ment before the war-ought to
make some of the Republican ran
tiers of the last Presidential cam

it won't. Nothing will.
When Governor Wilson beat MIR.
Faulkner for the nomination for
Governor, Mr.. Faulkner's friends
turned out and with their influ-
euce and money helped to elect
MIR. Wilson, and Senator Camden
was one of the men who helped
Now, Mr.. Wilson is trying to keep
men from abiding by the caucus
which nominated Mr.. Camden for
Senator. Is this good Democracy,
Governor?
Among the bills which has been
passed by Congress and received
the Presidents signature, was one
providing for a pension of one
hundred dollars per month for the
gallant Gen. B. F. Kelley, of this
State. The Generals name has
now been placed upon the pension
rolls, and every three months he
will receive a check from Uncle
Sam for three hundred dollars.
Senator Geo. E. Price was very
anxious and willing to go into a
Feaucus to receive the nomination
for himself as President of the
Senate. Now he seems fishy about
abiding by the Senatorial caucus.
This matter will "demand a hear
ing and settlement" hereafter,
Mr.. Price.
The fund for Mrs. Logan now
amounts 10 100000. The Ameri
cans are grateful and generous
people.
